To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ROBERT C. BUCKLEY and DANIEL G. HARMs, ofPeoria, in the county of Peoria andState of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specilication The nature of our invention consists in the construction of the plow-beam, and in the devices for connecting the beam, handles, and plow, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth in the accompanying drawing, in which- -Figure l is a plan view. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. 3 is a bottom view of a device embodying our invention.

A represents the plowshare; B, the moldboard 5 C, the land-side; and l), -the cross- 'brace, constructed in any of the well-known and usual Ways. E is a brace connecting the share A and mold-board B, and by being bolted to the upright G it also connects the land-side to the share and mold-board. This brace yE extends 4back of said upright far right G, which is attached to the land-side C,

curves forward above the brace E until it comes on a line with the plow-beam when in position. The plow-beam is constructed of two metal bars, J J, which may be of iron or steel, flat or angle iron, and curved in proper shape. Between these two metal bars is inserted a piece of wood, K, of the same shape, and the whole fastened securely together by rivets or bolts. Between the rear ends of the metal bars J is riveted a plate, c, which is bent at right angles or otherwise, so as to tit on the platform-brace I when the plow-beam J K is in position. The upright G and the plow-beam are united by a bolt, b, so that the beam will be free to turn right or left on said bolt when not otherwise fastened.

The plate a is fastened to the brace I by al sisting of the metal bars J J and intermediate wooden bar K, bolted or riveted together, substantially as herein set forth.

2. VThe combination of' the upright G, brace E, and platfbrm-brace I, as and for the purposes herein set forth.
